Abstract
Pb vapor mixed with a buffer gas was irradiated with pulses of laser light so as to populate the [Formula: see text] state, whose radiative and collisional decay was monitored by the method of time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The variation of the measured decay constants with buffer-gas pressures yielded the total depopulation (quenching) cross sections Q = 3.32 ± 0.25, 25.6 ± 2.2, and 84.1 ± 8.4 Å2 for collisions with CH4, CO, and CO2, respectively.
